Has anyone traded the new DS pins at WDW yet?

[jrmasm]

Just wondering...we're going soon and I was wondering if these are valid traders.

Thanks

We were there the week after the first set was released. I traded several pins. The only one that was in demand was the #1 pin. Unfortunately I only had one to trade.

I have not been buying all the pins so that I can trade for them at WDW. I am hoping people bring a lot of them to trade but so far I haven't seen to many. Be sure and look for me at the Friday night pin meet and I will definatly be interested.

i too was in wdw after the first week was released. i traded my complete second set minus #1 which i actually traded online before we went to wdw. the CM were very excited to see the new pins but I can't say i got any great pins (LE or CM) for them. i'm a newbie and i was just learning but i did get a lot of pins i like including a few retired pins. however some people would say that a $4.00 pin from the tds is always worth trading for a $6.50 wdw rack pin. personally i haven't made up my mind on this yet, seems to me a rack pin is easier to find despite its cost. either way they are defidently valid traders and from what i have seen posted on these boards most of the people near wdw have had a hard time finding the tds pins at the ds in Florida, so they might be eager to trade with you. good luck!!

Exactly right! Us Orlando folk don't see much of the Disney Store pins unless they are traded to a lanyard at WDW! I think they are all great pins. I especially like the Pooh dangle and the Emperor's New Groove pin, but any Disney Store pin is a welcome pin here in WDW!

I was there Oct 14-18. There was a lot of interest in these pins and I traded quite a few of them to others who wanted them.

Although at the time we didn't realize it was a DS pin, my DD-7 traded for Sleeping Beauties Castle, as we were there from 09-29 thru 10-10 and hadn't seen the sneak peeks so thought it was maybe a Disneyland pin, she was thrilled with her trade. We were both brand new to pin trading on our second trip to WDW. I had bought 1/2 dozen or so nice variety of pins off ebay before our trip and had the Lanyard Starter set for both of us that I had pre-purchased before trip through Jane's Pixies @ Gifts of a Lifetime. DD was sooooooooo jealous the first few days as many CM's and pin traders would look at my lanyard & pins and comment about what "nice" pins I had and DD kept asking "WHY doesn't anyone say anything about my pins?" To her they would usually say cute hat as she had on the red/white polka dot Minnie with ears baseball cap. After a few days and several good trades later CM's and pin traders finally started commenting on her "nice" pins too which made her quite happy LOL!!!!!
